I noticed that. It was actually an option I set in nano to wrap at 78 columns.
This was mainly for my own reading/writing purposes, as now that I turned it
off, my writing just scrolls to the right on my screen. It is now unbounded,
but I'm not too sure I like the way it functions, and I didn't see an option to
only wrap MY display, but unbind when saved. I'd like it to at least wrap on my
screen, and not just keep sidescrolling on one line.

Replicate what behavior? The word wrapping? Should be fixed now, although I'm
not decided on whether I like the way it looks on my end when my text scrolls
to the right and I can't see anything I've written prior unless I move my
cursor away from where I'm currently writing.

I'm using nano-2.2.6 but I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with what we're
talking about here.

After this message, I'm going to give the softwrap option a try. I would like
all my text to stay on the same page, and it seems as though it loads with the
--nowrap option by default. That's why I was wrapping at the 78th column
originally. A little tweak here and there and I'll get it right.

Regards,
Nick
